Alphabetical-order Memes

You know those country dropdown menus where Afghanistan is always first? Yeah, turns out it's not because of geopolitical importance or historical significance. It's because some dev somewhere decided to sort by alphabetical order and called it a day. The proposal to rename "United States of America" to "_United States of America" with an underscore prefix is pure genius—instant top billing in every dropdown. Because why should Americans have to scroll when they can just hack the alphabet itself? This is the kind of problem-solving that got us to the moon... or at least to the top of a ` ` element.
